Women as Inventors,

In the Chautuaquan Tor March,
Miss Ida NJ. Tarbell gives the result
of much Iarborious research on the
subject OF CIV omen as Inventors"
She contradicts the statement that
invention is a field into which wo-
men have seldom ventured, and
with an oficial record as authority
she says: lone of the handsomes t
models of the Patent Office is a sub
marine telescope patented in 1845 by
Sarah Mathel." Some good results
are shown in mechaical devices.
Conspicuous among the number are
a machine tor driving barrel hoops,
steam generator, baling press, a
steam and fume DOX, an automatic
floor for elevator shafts, q rail tor
street railways, an electric iliumlna-
ting appa tus, a railway car safety
apparatus, packing for piston rods

The Bolivar & Henderson Route Of
the Midland Railway.

Some specific information rela-
tive to the route proposed for the
Midland Railway, via Bolivar
and Henderson, may be Of interest
TO the public,
A competent civil engineer of
long experience who has recently
examined the old road bed between
this place and Bolivar, says, it Is
but slightly damaged and that its
curves and grades are not objection
able to the construction of a standard
guage road. and would be worth
$4,000 its first cost the work
having been done at low prices.
The route from Henderson to
Brownsport Furnace is nearly d.
rect, running little north Of east IL
miles southeast of Lexington and
about tho same distance from
SaltilIO through the richest portions
| Of Chester and Henderson counties
and through as fine timber as there
isil this or any other state, and IS
shorter than any other proposed
route, thus saving many thousand
of dollars IN cost OF construction
over any other route. 1t also passe:
through the marble bells north oil

HONESTY, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE

HONESTY, PCBLIC AND I AtA , "A 4
Every man in his dealings with
his nelghbors ought to be honest.
He ought to be square and straight.
Good government is based on fair
and honest dealing. The welfare
of society is i:ased upon 1t. In pri-
vate transactions the essential eie-
ment IN order to do justice to all is
truth and fairness.
In public matters the truth is
equally important. Political parties
as we'll as individuals should speak
the truth. They should not deceive
the people, and the candidates
placed on their platforms should be
true TO the promises made, The pco-
pie of Tennessee recognize this plain

position as candidate, and adopting
another position after he was elected

DEATH ON RATS
